   UCFAshley replied to momof4crazies's topic in General Students

   The internet ate my comment, so if it shows up twice--my apologies! What semester are you in? Med-surg? I am in my second semester for my ADN program which is med-surg. I am curious to know how HESIs are administered from program to program, like if ...
